Chok Dee Thai Restaurant at Burmah Road, Penang

Hello there you all. We realized that every time we post something up, it always starts with this kind of greetings. The kind where we haven't been here for the longest time already! Haha!

Well, since we've been gone for so long (actually not very long also right), we shall post on another of our all-time favorite cuisine! 

Yes, another Thai food post! 

Told you that we are big lovers of Thai Food. If we're both so busy with whatever things and you try to get us out for a night right, always use Thai food as the winning point. CONFIRM WE BOTH WILL SAY YES! Hehe.

We personally think that majority of the people in Penang likes Thai food. No, we don't have some kind of survey of whatsoever but it just seems like Thai food has been surviving for so many years here. As long as your price is reasonable and your food is good, sure got return customers. 

If your cook is from Thailand, most likely your Thai food will taste awesome. At least that's what we feel lah.

So, this place is pretty famous already. People know about Chok Dee Thai, Burmah Road. In fact, everytime you drive past Burmah Road, for sure got cars in front of the shop. 

The shop is quite small, so do make your reservations first if you're planning to dine in with a big number of people okay.

We enjoyed our time at Chok Dee Thai, Burmah Road with the company of amazing people. Thank you Judson Lim for the treat! Our lawyer, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, he's still available :))

Take note that the photos are all on large orders (bold pricing) and just enough portion for 5 adults :)

Tom Yum Seafood - RM 20/RM 31

He says: Pretty good! More of a lemak kind of tomyam =)

She says: When I saw the soup, I was like, "Confirm nice already!" and I was right! Milky and spicy!

Tofu Curry Paste - RM 12/RM 15/RM 20

He says: Thumbs up! Like the gravy. Very authentic thai taste to it.

She says: This was highly recommended by Judson himself so my expectation is like so high on this dish. First serving: LOVE IT. Second time: Hmm. Sill nice okay. Third time: Err.. starting to feel jelak d. But overall very aromatic and different.

Crispy marinated Pork Strips - RM 16/RM 28 

He says: A bit dry to me. But its not bad when dip into the thai sauce.

She says: If its crispierrr, then it would have been perfect! Quite a dry dish to eat with rice.

Salted Egg Squid - RM 16/RM18/RM 28 

He says: Not a big fan of salted eggs! A no no for me.. the squid is quite nice and chewy too!
She says: Love this dish! Salted egg dishes are always of prawns so this one with squid was actually really nice. 

Tub Tim Krob (water chestnut and jackfruit served in coconut milk) - RM6

He says: A little bit too sweet and the taste is a little bit weird.

She says: A bit too watery to my liking. Normal je.

Thai Food at BP Anjung Indah, Balik Pulau

This is a post super overdue! We have always planned to post this up few days after our special day but we never had the chance to as this year has been the busiest year ever. 

It's one of those place where we always drive past and said, "This place so nice lah. One day we come try okay?" and never actually remembered coming here to try the food.

Not until when we were scratching hard on our heads thinking of where to eat to celebrate our three years of date-ship. Then, both of us thought of this place somehow. We never knew the name of the place, not until after we dine there. You are very welcome :)

Those who drives to Balik Pulau a lot, like on a weekly basis, you would know where this place is although it's located on top of the entrance. So, you might not know that there is actually a restaurant on top, overlooking the always-forgotten-Balik Pulau.

Loving the view already yes?

Romantic okay?

Tomyam Seafood - RM28 (S)

He says: Love this one =) served hot and spicy!
She says: I loke creamy tomyam soup and this is just it. Too big for two of us though. Heh.

Green Curry Chicken - RM18 (S)

He says: The taste is really authentic! Very Thai.

She says: I love how much vegetables they put it in there. The chicken is bone-y if I may say. If they serve chicken fillet instead of those with bones, then I will love it a lot! 

Sizzling Bean Curd - RM12 (S)

He says: The Japanese tauhu is as smooth as criminal! Haha! Must try!

She says: This one for kids only lah! Kidding! It was his idea to order this by the way. Very soft and very tasteful. Yummy.

Deep Fried Fish (Siakap) with Pinang Sauce -RM40 (RM5 per 100grams)

He says: The sauce is really tasty. A little bit sour, sweet and spicy!
She says: So crunchy and huge for us! The sauce surprisingly very nice! I love this one!

Mixed 4-Beans in Ka-Pi - RM18 (S)

He says: Nothing special but still not bad.
She says: Best of all worlds okay. One of my favorites. The sambal very nice, not too spicy. 

It gets even more romantic at night and we didn't even have to spend few hundreds to enjoy this kind view :)

Sri Tanjung Tomyam Seafood at Tanjung Tokong, Penang

Malay food! Ahhh, no doubt malay food is one of our favorite kind of food. It's not only cheap but also really yummy. We found this place through a friend and also her parents recommending its tomyam soup and other dishes. 

We went there once and the place immediately became our Sunday-Dinner-Place. Almost without fail, we';ll always have our dinner on Sunday here.

The only boohoo-thing is that there is no fan and it could get really hot there. Imagine sweating already and having their signature tomyam soup sumore, wala. 

This one can almost become our 'budget-ly romantic' category but I think it's too hot to put it into that group. 

Oh oh! There is also one satay stall that sells really good beef and chicken satay! That will be on another entry for sure!

They have western food and burgers on weekdays too :)

Quite limited space.

Koay Teow Basah

He says: Served hot and spicy.One of the best koay teow basah that I had taken. Thumbs up!

She says: The wetter it is, the better. Afterall, it is called koay teow basah. This one quite nice. 

Bee Hoon Kungfu

(Deep fried bee hoon with thick gravy)

He says: My favourite dish in Malay stalls! However, this one somehow does not have that kick this dish usually have. Nevertheless, recommended!

She says: I didn't even know there's such a dish. I must say I was impressed! Love the gravy. It's a little spicy. Almost like char hor fun but better! The deep fried beehoon not so much but very special. Must try!

Sayur Campur

He says: Not bad but could be better!

She says: Quite a normal dish. Yummy and simple.

Kangkung Belachan

He says: Its a little bit to wet I would say. Just so so.

She says: Okaylah. 

Kailan with Ikan Masin 

He says: Good. Smells good tastes good!

She says: Love this one. 

Ayam Padkaprau

He says: AHA! Good stuff.. If you like hot and spicy dish, you would love this. Not only that, the fragrance of the basil leave would give you a twist in your mouth.

She says: Very similar to a Thai dish that has basil leaves in them. Super yummy. I love this one.

Deep Fried Squid

He says: The hard to go wrong dish :)

She says: Too much flour I feel.

Famous Thai Food at Annathai-Kitchen Restaurant at Pulau Tikus, Penang

Dinner time with a few friends. Okay, not a few actually. I think it was like 10 of us or something.

As usual, we always struggle to decide where to eat, especially when you go in such a big group. So, her sister and brother in law suggested this Thai Restaurant at Pulau Tikus.

Almost immediately we both agreed and kee chiew! Hahaha.

You can either sit inside or outside of the house-converted-into-a-restaurant.

Our two guest judge for Annathai-Kitchen :)

Tomyam Kung

He says: Pretty good.. You can taste the richness of the spices/ingredient. Mixture of sweetness, sourness and spiciness.

She says: Nice. It's not too sour, not too thick or thin. Love this tomyam!

Rachel: I love it! Spicy and sour!

Kahwei: The soup taste great but needed more ingredient for it to be included into my list of favourites.

Signature Fish

He says: Normal fried fish only.

She says: Deep fried fish.. Hmm.. Normal le. The mango kerabu however is yummy. 

Rachel says: Normal deep fried fish with kerabu and another type of sauce. nothing to shout about.

Kah Wei says: Fish is not my "type of food". Look interesting though for having 2 type of sauces to your own liking

Phat Phak Liang - RM10 (small) / RM15 (big)

stir-fry vege (liang) with egg

He says: Just okay. Really.

She says: It definitely tasted better than it looks. It's quite a yummy dish. The vege somehow is quite special. One plate for me not enough. Hah.

Rachel says: Love this dish! The main reason I will go back to the shop! The fragrance of the eggs and vege is simply superb, with white rice..ooh la la! Oh..and the vege is not found here. Only found in Phuket apparently.

Kah Wei says: This dish is one of my favourites which lures me back to Annathai. Never fail i order the big size one with 2 person meal. No regrets!

Yum Khai Yao Ma - RM10 (small) / RM15 (big)

Century egg salad

He says: Highlight of the day! I think this dish is a must try here! My first time trying this and it is really really good!

She says: The sauce of this dish is superb. I don't love it that much but I don't hate it also. Quite neutral with this one.

Rachel says: Aanother must-haves for me! The combination of the century egg (imported from thai) and the onions, cili padi..NICE!

Kah Wei says: I usually don't long for century egg but this is a total different league of food taste and texture. This dish is a MUST and goes well as appetiser as well as part of your dish.

Kar Moo Tord - RM15 (small) / RM25 (medium) / RM40 (big)

pork knuckle

He says: The pork knuckle is good. The amount of meat and the 'bak eu' is just right. Nice!

She says: Teated pretty bland to me. Didn't really enjoyed this dish. Sauce also like not much taste. 

Rachel says: Not a fan of deep fried knuckle. Too oily for me. Sauce is oily as well.

Kah Wei says: Pork knuckle i only target for it's fats. Taste is good as well but didn't fit into my top 2 dish.

Thai dessert with coconut milk and water chesnut (Tub Thim Krob)

He says: Rich, u can actually smell the santan from a distance. Jkjk.. This one is quite good..

She says: Quite a yummy dessert. The santan is not too diluted or thick. Just ngam ngam.

Rachel says: Okay. Not bad. Wish to have more nangka though.

Kah Wei says: I'm not a sweet tooth person. So no comments.
